CUSTER'S LAST BATTLE.
Realistic Reproduction of the Little Big
Horn Conflict.

Horn Conflict.
The feature de resistance Of Pawnee
Bills "Wild West" show, which appears
in Memphis, Saturday, November 8, in
conjunction with Sells Brothers circus, Is
an Intensely vivid reproduction of that last
great conflict between the forces OF cNiliza-
ton and barbarism-the sanguinary en-
gagement between United States troops
led by the immortal Custer, and the i'm
placable Sioux marshaled by the for
midablc Sitting Bull, on the banks
of the Little Big Horn, Montana,
June IL, 1876 This mimic battle has
created profound sensation wherever
the Mcssrs. Sells have exhibited. No such
thrilling realism and impressive effects
were ever before visible in dramatic pro-
duction. The representation brings into
requisition fully POO scouts, cowboys, lndi'
ans, and cayalrymen. The noted Sioux
chief, "Rain-in-ihe- Face" himself the r.
puted slayer of Custer, commands
the Indian contingent, while Pawnc'
Bill, who bears striking resemblance
10 Gen. Custer, impersonates that lamentec
hero. The charge Of 100 mounted and &c
coutred cavalrymen down the great hippo
dromc track il said 10 be a magnliccn
sight. 49,
The Custer battle will attract no littl'
attention here.

Tecmer Wins the Race.

LAKE MARANAcooH, Me-, Oct 2s-Thc
weather this morning was all that could
be desired, and the water good, but the
predictions of close and fast race were
not borne out 10y the results. The men
were ordered ON the line ut the appointed
time, and when Referee Ormond gave the
word go" they sped away in good shape.
Tccmcr had made up his mind TO outrow
Gaudaur and 80 pulled for all he was
worth. The race for the first mile was all
that the spectators could wish, but the
Mckecsport scullcr soon showed his su-
periority over his rival and drew away
from him. Gaudaur tuggcd manlully ut
his sculls, and, with his great strength
and skill fully brought into play, spurted
again and again, and did everything that
he could To get on even terms with ICcmer,
but To no purpose. The champion of
America saw him everything and went u
little better, and won the race handily in
20 minutes, PSI seconds. Gaudaur was

No Regular Pardon Application.

CnicAdo, H., Oct. 2SA special from
Springfield, H., says; at is n curious fact
that among all the communications that
have reached the Governor for and against
clcmcncy for the anarchists, there is but
one formal petition, and that is mailed
from small interior town in New York.
Among the signors IL W. ID. Howells, the
novelist. Tho main body of all the other
literature on the Governors desk ON this
subject consists OF personal appeals and
remonstrances. II has already become an
interesting question, therefore, whether
there is such II case before the Governor in
behalf of these prisoners ~ he could act
upon. In fact, the Governor says that
no such application or petition as is con-
tcmplated in the law has been filled by any
of the men under sentence in Cook county
in what IL known IN the anarchist case,
The legal provision made ~ Ia the manner
of applying requires that the application
shall be made by petition In writing 10 the
Governor, signed by the party under con-
viction or other persons in his behalf,
shall contain brief history of the case
and the reasons why such pardon should
be granted, and shall also he
accompanied by n statement in writing
made by the Judge and prosecuting attor-
ncy Of the court In which the conviction
was had, stating their opinion regarding
the case, or in the absence Of statement
Of their opinion, satisfactory reasons must
be given TO the Governor why which state
ment does not accompany the petition; and
finally, il IL made the duty OF the judge
and prosecuting attorney 20 give such
opinion whenever such petition is pre-
scented 10 them. None Of these legal
formalities have yet been complied with.
Whether the Governor would consider n
case not conforming 10 these legal require
ments can only he inferred. When ques.
toned on that point he simply replied:
Il presume the Governor might ON his
motion and without any application, par
don out Of the pcnitontiary any convict lac
chose. or any number Of them, and that II
hc did they would be safely out, hut the
Governor would be linbloto impeachment.
As TO the requirement that the application
must be made 10y the party under conyic-
ton, IL seems pretty clear that when
another pcrsonI acts for the person con
demned, he must ~ act ~ an attorney on
agent, and at the solicitation or request oi
the person condemned. In other words,
the petition must represent the actual wish
of the party under conviction. The letter
to the Governor, writtcn.by Parsons, which
was printed in several Of the newspapers,
was never mailed TO him, or at least hc
never got II, and therefore, officially,
knows nothing Of H. '"

The Barre Bank RObber.

George E. Miles of New York is serving
in the Vermont state prison sentence of
fourteen years, or thereabouts, for robbing
the Barre National Bank, and by reason of
good conduct in prison he has shortened the
term so that it will expire next year. Re-
Gently a strongly-endorsed petition for his
freedom has been presented to Governor
OrmSbee, and pressed by counsel with ear
nestness and many plausible arguments; but
the governor has returned it, indorsed with
the following reasons: " The subject of this
petition has been duly considered. Were
the only object of imprisonment punish
ment of the prisoner, the prayer of the
petition would probably be granted, in view
of all the circumstances and in considera-
ton of the express wish of several eminent
citizens, including prison officials. But the
crime for which the prisoner is under sem
tence is peculiarly dangerous, in its at
tempted perpetration, to the life of the
citizens. Professional burglars, particularly
those who are so far advanced as the
prisoner-a class to which he unquestion-
ably belonged-together prepare to take the
life OF whoever may stand in the way or aid
in preventing escape. 1t is said that there
is an understanding abroad that sure punish
ment follows conviction of high crimes
committed in this state, and that would be
perpetrators of such crimes have a whole
some fear of falling into the hands of
officers of the law in Vermont. Let nothing
be done to diminiSh or djSsipdte this fear, but
instead let il be more fr,ply fred lCheneUer Oc-
cdSjOn presents. Much stress is seemingly
laid upon the good conduct of the prisoner
while in confinement. Good conduct and
correct department are always commenda-
BILE, and their absence would doubtless in
most cases operate to close the door of eX-
ecutive clemency, but it is more than doubt
full whether an executive would be justified
in the exercise of the pardoning power by
reason of good behavior alone, in view of
